action. we wait the president's decision, of course. >> trace: it appears it may be a go. we don't know the exact man. i'm trace gallagher. that's "studio b." "your world" starts right now. >> neil: tick, tick, tick. president obama and his secretary of state john kerry laying out the case for moving forward on a strike on syria, with or without our allies. while colonel danny mcknight doesn't like what its about to go down. welcome everybody, i'm neil cavuto. the president says the action in syria will be considered a limited narrow act. might want to seek the advice of one danny mcknight who remembers another humanitarian mission gone terribly wrong, in that case, somalia, one that ended with u.s. soldiers being dragged through the streets.

not a good ending, and the colonel fears this one might not be, either. colonel, an honor to have you. what's your biggest worry? >> well, my biggest worry is simple. i don't really understand what the strategic vision is here, what is the outcome going to be. when you don't know the outcome what you worry about is the follow-on, what its retaliation by syria and are we now not going to be involved in a war we don't want to be in? >> neil: in somalia you can bring me up to speed. the idea was to get food and help out people in the middle of what was a growing civil war. so, our intentions and our purpose was sound, but it then went wildly awry. what happened? >> also the other part of the mission that was so important was to remove -- that was a very clear part of the objective and that is strange compared to what we see today because i -- everything we read is, our president and everybody says we don't want to remove assad from

over there. so, it tells you nobody knows what the real strategic objective is. what's the long-term effect if we go in there and that what concerns me. >> so you're not a believer in this in and out real fast, don't change the regime, but humble the regulartime, send a shot over the bow to the regime, that stuff. because the bad guys gets the message. >> if the bad guy isn't removed, he might get a message but i don't think the message he is going to receive is the one we want him to, he is supposed to stop doing this. he wouldn't have done it in the first place if he was worried about that. so i think it's very simply he will continue to do -- he may even shoot back at us and if he shoots as a ship, kills americans on a ship, are we now not in a war we shouldn't be in? >> neil: any truth to the idea that this is a setup or that other countries in the region -- we have heard from iran that if

we do anything there, they're going to start launching strikes on israel. we always hear this with these dustups. but this could end up being figger than we're factoring in here. >> i think it definitely could be bigger, and if you really want to look to when that area became so destabilized, was when egypt was overthrown, when libya was taken over, and those things have not really helped stabilize or improve anything. egypt is the worse case you can ever imagine right now, and if we do this in syria and then iran wants to do that, we have a region that is absolutely totally at war over there. constantly. we shouldn't be part of that. >> neil: when the arab league states are generally supporting a u.s. move against sirarch does that assure you more or do you, and why aren't these guys doing something? >> right now from what i'm reading and seeing and hearing they're not a whole lot of support from the united nations

and europe. france said it's onboard, which i find is interesting, but when others are not supportive, we're overstepping our bounds to do this. >> neil: humanitarian missions come with a great risk is what you're saying. >> there's no such thing as just a humanitarian mission. not in this kind of case, because if we go in there and call at it humanitarian mission because of what happened to the civilian do -- which is awful. and assad should pay for it, but once you shoot missiles in there, you're probably going to get involved and it is not humanitarian at that point. >> neil: colonel, thank you very much, and for your service. >> thank you, neil. >> neil: the inspections we're told are done and the u.n. team is packing up and getting ready to leave. the u.n. says it is unclear how long it will take to analyze samples taken from sites of the alleged chemical attacks. on the phone with is a former cia operative mike baker what the samples might contain or

what they look for. what do they try to discern from this stuff? >> as you imagine, it's a lot of different opportunities. what the u.n. is doing is -- they trying to collect ground samples and tissue, hair samples. they're looking for soil samples, anything that will give them indication of chemical residue and narrow down what type of agent was used. we're not relying on that u.n. report. the object is important from the white house perspective to appear to be relying on the u.n. report but frankly we are relying more on our own intelligence, as well as, importantly, what our allies and partners were able to do, particularly the jordanians and israelis. >> neil: mike, we're told by the likes of john kerry we have now fairly irrefutable proof that chemical weapons were used and

that goes back to whether president assad was the one using them and personally commanding their use. now we get separate reports his brother, i guess, who is in charge of one of the disputed regions here, was the guy who actually called the shots no pun intended. does that met gait -- mitigate this at all sniff you're running the show, it's on your watch. >> i don't see how it absolves assad or changes what the white house is describing as a moral obscenity. moral outrage. you really have a narrowly defined issue here. do we feel as if it is our obligation, our responsibility at -- to go out and anytime there is a use of chemical weapons, to respond in an aggressive military manner, to fry to keep that tamped down and say this is unacceptable by anyone. that's it. that's all this is. this isn't about trying to change the regime.

this isn't trying to aid some rebel army we don't have a good grip on. it's this one issue. is that our responsibility? >> neil: one quick question, and i raised this, if our definition for intervention is chemical weapons, 100,000 syrians were slaughtered by means of bombs and bullets. so if i'm some dictator elsewhere, isn't the lesson i'm getting for this, i'm going to shoot them, not gas them in the future? >> absolutely. i don't understand the calculus and, again, i'm one of those that thinks there's no good ending here, any scenario we engage in is going to result -- but it does send a very strange message when apparently our cal calculation is 100,000, okay. 1400 or so by chemical weapons, that is a moral obscenity.

i understand the need to try to ensure that the world understands chemical weapons cannot be used on the battlefield or against civilians or at any time, but we're really trying to parse words near this situation, and i don't see what the strategy is by the white house. and normally they're fairly savvy. they seem to be completely outmatched in this one. >> neil: we shall see. michael good, having you. thank you. >> thank you. >> neil: to wall street now. it's sort of taking all this in, not well. stocks ending a very rough month. one of the roughest augusts we have seen. the dow diving 700-points this month. in september, another potentially scary month for scotts and don't get me started on the famous month of october, home of many scares. market watcher says there's good recent to worry right now. larry? >> no question the geopolitical event, in particular syria, are front and center why the stock

market is struggling. august was the single worst month for the stock market in more than a year, and september is the historically worst year for stocks. september is typically a negative month. it's a very challenging time of the year. it's not just syria. there are economic data points and a laundry list of issues in the month of september that the marks are looking ahead to and they're worried. >> neil: smart guys like you remind sometimes markets use to excuses to do something, in this case a great runup prior to this summer, actually prior to july, and now this is a good reason as any other to go ahead and take a breather or pause. the question becomes how long you do that, and i guess much depends in this syrian situation, how protracted it could potentially get. >> certainly the markets were up huge through memorial day. markets up about 15%. since memorial day we're flat.

and for the markets to continue to rise in the second half of the year we have to see some better economic data and the data has not been coming out in the month of august, we saw a greater number of disappointing data points. consumer goods, if we look into the fall, investors need an excuse to buy stocks and we're not giving them one. they don't like the circumstances. and they normally get a correction every year, and they're due one, and no one likes the volatility, particularly september and october, which are seasonably the most vulnerable times of the year. >> neil: if i have a good recollection of prior u.s. military trigger points, it always starts ahead of it with the market selling off, oil going up, gold going up, and then whether it's the first gulf war or the second gulf war, this all started out okay.

in other words, it would swift, clear, and the last president bush's attack, looked swift and clear. it turn out to be much more involved than that. and then everything that was running up on fear subsided and calm prevailed. you envision that this time? >> i think that's a great point we all crave certainty, and the certainty is the price of oil, and when we see that price move up, that's a real economic a -- tax on the consumer, so when you see oil prices spike because of what might happen -- the only thing worse than the bombs themselves is the anticipation of the bombs and that's where we are right now. investors are worried what might go wrong, how high might oil go, and for every dollar it goes up, that's out of everybody else's pocket. so getting this behind us is the best way towards certainty. having it loom out there is a

level of uncertainty that no one likes, particularly investors in wall street. >> neil: well put. appreciate it. you want proof the food stamm program is busting at the seams? consider the bust that just went down. she loves a lot of the same things you do.

it's what you love about her. but your erectile dysfunction - that could be a question of blood flow. cialis tadalafil for daily use helps you be ready anytime the moment's right. you can be more confident in your ability to be ready. and the same cialis is the only daily ed tablet approved to treat ed and symptoms obph, like needing to go frequently or urgently. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions and medications, and ask your heart is healthy enough for sexual activity. do not take cialis if you take nitrates for chest pain, as this may cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure. do not drink alcohol in excess with cialis. side effects may include headache, upset stomach, delayed backache or muscle ache. to avoid long-term injury, seek immediate medical help for an erection lasting more than 4 hours. if you have any sudden decrease or loss in hearing or vision, or iyou have any allergic reactions such as rash, hives,

swelling of the lips, tongue or throat, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, stop taking cialis and get medical help right away. ask your doctor about cialis for daily use and a 30-tablet free trial. >> neil: to arizona right now where police just busted up a massive food stamp fraud ring. this is weird. police officers seizing more than half a million dollars and arresting these three guys. tom horn is arizona's attorney. tell me what this is all about? >> there are certain convenience stores and it's known on the streets which ones where you can go with your food stamp card, get some cash, get most of the value, the customer uses the cash for alcohol, drugs, whatever, and the store in effect deals the value of the food stamp. one is a small purchase, a bag of potato chip, treated as a

large purchase and then give the customer cash in addition to the potato ship, or just give them the card. let's say there's $300 on the card. they give them $100, and then there's $200 left and then they ring up sales and they had $550,000 of cash in a safety deposit box, and another $80,000 of cash. it was -- and then some cards. a total of $700,000 that was seized. >> neil: attorney general, what worries me i now know that we -- food stamps are at the highest level they've ever been, 100 million americans get some sort of food assistance, so if this is happening in your neck of the woods i imagine the potential is ripe for this happening in a lot of places. that kind of scares me. >> it happens quite a bit, neil. we have had five busts this year alone of this type. this is the largest we have had.

we have had five busts in convenience stores of this type. >> neil: it's a tempting target because there's so many of these being handed out, apparent live it's very easily done. now, you were on top of this, trying to crack down on this, but it's sort of like whack amo. one group does and it another group does it. is it because it's so easy and there are ways to get around authorities? >> well, there's some people who get food stamps who would rather not get food but get alcohol or drugs, and so some convenience stores become known they're willing to do this thing, and they good to those stores and they trade most of the value on the cart for cash, and then they go out and buy their drugs or alcohol. this investigation went on a year. we have been working with the u.s. department of agriculture and local law enforcement, the phoenix police department and other partners. one thing that is done is to

look at the volume of business. you may find a certain convenience store has a great volume of food stamp business, ten times what another similar store might have and then you know likely it's a fraud and you send in undercover rivers to make the case. >> neil: i always worry about the con katrina store that try ies to legitimatize this, and then you think about other legitimate establish. s that could be pulling crime after crime. >> the convenience stores willing to do this are the ones that are the real major criminals. we have also arrested 22 of the customers who do it. but the convenience stores. in this chase we have three people, a father and two sons, with a lot of felonies they've been charged with, and we're trying to make examples to try to let people know they can't be doing this because they'll end up in prison. >> neil: good for you, attorney general. we don't see a lot of that going on. we see a lot of abuses in

government but rarely see people trying to stop it. >> we're determined to crack down. thanks, neil. >> neil: tom horne, the attorney general of the fine state of arizona. he pushed for and it got it, and now he is not sold on it?

>> neil: he touted it. >> just came off the hill lobbying some undecided members on the healthcare bill. we're going to get healthcare reform bill done. this bill is a great step forward. going to give us long-term security. the congressional budget office says it's going to reduce premiums, 14 to 20%. >> neil: then this week. >> we have been working with the administration to find solutions to what i think are inadvertent

holes in the act. when the act was put together, it wasn't thought completely through, and so we work on a daily basis and i'm hopeful we'll get something done in the near future. >> neil: wait a minute. you helped craft this thing. you were in the kitchen with the chefs. you had direct access to the president behind closed doors. governor mike huckabee remembers all the secret meetings, and now what happened? they don't want any part of it. governor? >> they burned the beans while they were in the kitchen, neil. that's what happened. everybody can figure this out except people who were missing it. gomerpile said, surprise, surprise, surprise. these guys are acting like they're shocked that employers would cut people back to less than 30 hours when 30 hours is the threshold of fulltime employment and the threshold of obligation to provide an incredibly unaffordable health

care. this was not something that should have caught any of these people offguard. neil: that proviso discussed in the piece of legislation, but leaving that aside, even the cadillac plans he was talking about now and wants some protection from fees and excess taxes now, somebody had to realize was built into the plan and one way they were going to scarf up some dough for the plan and covering the uninsured. so, what's going on here? >> well, a lot of it is that the whole thing is based on the notion you have to have five million younger people under the age of 30 to buy into insurance that is a lot more expensive than people under thunder -- under 30 ought to by it. but younger people will be subdiesing their parents and grandparents whose health care covrage costs more because more health care dollars are spent by

people in the last year of their life. 75% of lifetime health care when benefits spent in the last 4 -- 4 24 years of life. so the young people will pay the fine and the whole system collapses. >> neil: richard argues well on behalf of his people and i talked to him at the democratic convention, talked about the achievements of the administration and what registered,, and health care was a crowning achievement, and the fact of the mart is he, like congress, like a lot of other groups that are a friend of the president's, say we want out. we want an exemption. we want special treatment. and i just wonder -- i used this analogy -- when the chef isn't eating his own food can, the restaurant manager is going to the restaurant next door, when all the people who were

concocting this in the kitchen want out of the kitchen, i want out of the restaurant. >> yeah. be ware of the bald barber and the skinny chef, and in this case you have a situation where nobody who raft crafted the bill wants it. members of congress and they're staff get a subsidy because they said, whoa, this is going to cost us more than we can afford. we'll all quit. they talk about the brain drain. the brains were drained out before they passed this monstrosity. that's the problem. there was a brain drain that was the cause of obamacare. now you have companies ranging from ups to delta airlines saying, their costs are 60 million, delta's, 100 million. the department store forever 21, there's going to be forever 29 because they won't let people be hired beyond 29 hours a week. so it's transforming the labor force and i thought it was very interesting. james hoffa, the teamsters president, said it's going to destroy the 40 hour work week in

america which is the institution of building the middle class. the very thing president obama wants to fix he is going destroy, unintentionally, but that's the consequence of obamacare. >> neil: you're getting into the whole jobs thing on lab you're day -- labor day weekend. thank you very much. >> have a great weekend: >> neil: all right. the president keeps saying that republicans can't whine about his health care law because they have no plan of their own. this republican begs begs to di. guess what? he does have a plan and it's working fine. the indiana governor on what he calls the cure to obama care on fbn, 8:00 p.m. >> demand it. it? >> neil: slush fund for spying. proof it won't be dying anytime soon? but let's be ready. ♪ let's do our homework. ♪ let's look out for each other.

>> neil: it's not just the nsa. the "washington post" reporting the cia and other spying agencies are getting 53 million bucks a year. that's a lot of money to spy on us and they sort of take out of that same pot to do this. a reason why it says, cut the cash now. the problem with that, it's easier said than done. these agencies can come back and say, you take money from us, it's all on you. go ahead. what do you think? >> that's certainly the case they make everytime people talk about cutting budgets. they say we need this money to keep america safe, and then when

you ask -- you follow up and ask, why do you need this money? specifically? explain how this money, this funding for these programs is going to keep us safe. they say, look, we can't tell you because that would be revealing secrets. so just trust us. and so there's this kind of game going on where they say we really need this money to protect you but we can't tell you why. >> neil: you know what i worry about? i'll try to explain it in a way that doesn't sound contracts. -- sound crass. a crisis like in syria emboldens these guys this syrian electronic army shutting down powerful american sites, and you want them to keep doing it, well, all right, keep -- >> i worry that is the effect. >> security forces, the intelligence forces in the united states, definitely use international crisis to make their case and to argue that they need -- need to keep the

funding they have and need to have increased funding. one of the things we have seen in the reports about the black budget here and the money we're spending, there's a lot they are not able to answer, in particular one of the things we found out was that they're unable to answer a whole host of crucial questions about biological and chemical weapons globally and about where those are being stored and how they're being used, who has them. that's not really confidence, inspiring. neil: that kind of information would have come in handy about now. but be that as it may. i'm disturbed by a report that they pay companies millions of dollars to help them spy on americans or at least access their databases. small -- these companies say they're offended but a modern day judah they take the money and do it. >> well, these companies are

often in tough spots where they feel like they have to comply. but at the same time there's a sort of corporate public -- corporate government collusion here, to keep the security state going, and there's a lot of folks benefiting from it on both sides. >> neil: who is going to say no to the government. right? peter, thank you. >> thank you. >> neil: are these companies opening the door to lawsuits? this attorney says, yes, they are. that's what worries me. that's what happens. >> lawsuits should be the least of it. there are lots of things to do. why stop just at spying on us electronically. just allow the police anytime they want, grab somebody, throw them up against the wall, search them, frisk them, put a gun to someone's head you'll stop crime. but that's not what we signed up for as a democratic society, and the price you pay sometimes for

our constitutional freedoms, our right to be free from oppressive government, bad guys can do things. take the money, go spy on the bad guys. >> randy, you're taking the slippery slope arguement to an extreme. i'm going to take the company's perspective. and we just heard they're in a very difficult position. they get what they call lawful surveillance orders. i don't know whether they're actually gettingwayses or getting court or thes but they're saying, companies are saying, three or four of them, saying we get this lawful surveillance orders and we have to set up teams of lawyers. i mean we all love lawyers but teams of lawyers to sift through these surveillance requests. >> neil: and the government pays them for their effort. >> sometimes they do but the companies are saying it's reimbursement. this is not free to go through this stuff. >> neil: it's i canny.

>> it is but place the blame on the government, not the corporations. >> neil: i wonder what the percentage of companies that say no. i bet very small. whether there's an order or court writ of whatever. it's intimidating like the irs and we need information and -- >> a good thing -- [overlapping speakers] >> a serious point here. if we can make one, is that they're keeping invoice and a paper trail so if it ever comes back, what was handed over to the government. >> neil: you're embold 'king -- emboldening what -- >> i'm not emboldening the government -- aim saying when the corporations get these lawful surveillance orders -- >> neil: you're to follow it to infinity.

>> legally, it's great. we can talk -- it's a new show. the bottom line remains, this is not a police state, and that is what we are -- >> neil: where do you draw the line when these companies -- they get -- a court order, variety of other documents saying we need this information. what if google went back to say, why do you need 20 million americans' e-mail records or to verizon, are you sure you need 115 million americans phone records. >> they can't do that. >> neil: they did with google. >> there's apparent secret star chamber dishing out these orders that it was okay to do it go to a new central, detached judge, like your supposed to, who will look at -- >> neil: but randy, judges and courts ten years ago but the nsa

overstepped but we're fining about out now. >> that's the scary part. how did we find out? we're so bad at this, that we can't even keep our secrets. our secrets -- our own government employees give us up. how will this work? >> you're placing the burden on the wrong party. not the corporations. the government that started this, when you're -- even if you're a big company like verizon, it's tough to go back to the government and say, i don't want to do that. >> neil: takes to to tango and i know it's intimidating and the government can make you do something, but again and again and again, and even since these revelations first came to light, they keep doing it. >> they've stopped for a bit now because now there's a whole other program which brings in voluntary compliance. >> neil: nsa saying we have 75% of the internet traffic. >> supposed to be coming from international. so when they look through these,

then they bring in the people. >> neil: the titanic, who are you to know the iceberg would be there. >> it's all going to be outsourced at some point to india or something anyway. >> neil: what will be outsourced. >> to bring the costs down. >> neil: i got you. >> the point remains there are certain sacrifices you make for freedom and not everything can be in the name of security. just toss out the constitution, then. in the name of security. >> neil: which is what you whatnot to do. >> we don't need the fourth or fifth amendment. >> on the government. >> i hope your proud of yourself. explain to your children how you're throwing their future down the drain. have a wonderful weekend. >> thank you. >> neil: forget the young and the restless. find the young and the savings plan. minutes could save you fifteen percent

>> don't pay now or pay later. a report says younger workers are not saving the recommended 10 to 15% of their income for retirement. few of any age are but that's a hefty chunk of change for millenials trying to make ends meet. mike and joanne are in that camp and agree, they simply don't have the money to save. fortunately for them charles payne has loads of money but not giving it to anyone. charles knows these two from making your market special. mike and joanne just need to look at what they're wearing for the future. your argument has always been young people don't realize how surprisingly easy this can be. >> they're the ones who set the trend. all the news that comes out, all the teen retailers reported earnings and wall street was

shocked that abercrombie and fitch -- they don't go to stores anymore. we did a special a month ago. mike's portfolio, express nike and guess. those three stocks up 5.7%. express was up 79%. guess -- up 9%. guess is up 9%. he buys these clothes and tells his friends. >> did you take them up after buying the stocks? >> no, i haven't, but i'm still doing my research. >> he was thinking about options. >> neil: what is it that stops you? you're young and is it just you don't have the money, you're a little anxious if you decide. >> i think with young people it's a lack of education really on the correct way to do it, the safe way to do it because we're afraid of relinquishing that control to something that is uncontrollable. but being on the segment i

learned a lot. >> neil: have you started investing. >> i haven't. >> neil: charles did not impress you. >> he did a good job but my 25th birthday is coming up soon. >> neil: your what? >> my 25th birthday. i look forward to receiving your gift. >> i thought the segment was a gift. >> i think that 25 is a great time to start roth ira and i have a stir who is a financial planner and that's their birthday gift to me, to look into this. >> neil: do you get -- mike, perhaps you hear this -- people look at what is going on in the market, the last couple of weeks, the war fear, and we're . so you say, i don't want in on that. that's scary stuff.

>> yeah, it's scary. i don't want to take -- i don't have that much money to spare, cash i can just go into the market right now. anything i do, i want to be at least 99% sure it's going to be worth it, and it's scary. >> neil: you say it depends on your timeline. >> great to start when you're young. here's the thing. i took my son and my me few back-to-school shopping. we're in the store, uptown new york, and there's two pair of nikes. someone buys a couple pairs of nikes a year, they're going to be obsolete. do you ever think nike stock will be obsolete or go to zero? we voluntarily throw out the cash knowing it will be worth nothing, and yet we're afraid to be the own are of nike? that's what i'm asking people to do. be the owner of these companies.

>> neil: the rap is you can't get the money. >> it's hard taking 10% of my income and putting that into the market. it's really hard to do, especially living in new york city and having student loans to pay back and bills. so, you're definitely going to need to have a good cushion in order to start but you have to take a leap of faith. >> neil: what do you tell them if they don't have the 10 or 15%? your big thing is, start. >> my big thing is people have more money than they acknowledge or say they do. instead of $300 nikes, get a pair of $30 boat shoes and take the other 200 -- listen, that's what i'm saying. we can't sacrifice being hip and cool. look at my man. how cool. he could downsize -- >> neil: i would wear that same outfit -- it works. >> thank you. i appreciate that. >> everytime i come here i'm blushing. >> neil: do you feel that? do you feel like, wait a minute, i want to commit. i don't know if i can commit.

i don't have the money right up front, so that the 10% you hear holds you book, what if it were just a little bit? >> seems like somebody always comes up. you put something away and then something comes up in your life now -- just now i have four weddings in the next month. >> neil: you got to get rid of friends. >> that helps a lot. after friends, family. >> neil: actually family first. they're a huge obligation and get in the way. we can always come to charles' point we don't have the time or money for. what blocks you, at all that and above? >> yes. i like my money where i can see it. >> neil: you can see in a statement from charles' firm or fidelity -- >> i do like to see it. >> i will say in all fairness to them, every day this week i took a different age group. so we had the 40-year-olds, last

night 70-year-olds, never been in the market, and tonight i have a guy 45 years old, brilliant. >> neil: what do you tell the 70-year-olds. >> he plans on living forever. he looked fantastic, energetic, had a few set backs but knows he made in big mistakes so even the guy at 46 is planning on having kids. never had any kids. having kids now. so he gets it. we all planned on living forever and that's one of the things. the irony is that should be the thing getting to us do it because the longer we live, we want to live great. >> neil: do you like to get past humps in life? healthcare law is a big question for guys as young as you. taxes, war, and that there are always excuses not to. do you let them come up? >> hurdles in general? >> neil: another reason not to do it. >> i don't like to look scared. i like to be cautious and whatever comes my i would i try to beat it.

anything in my life, any negative thing that comes my way. but you can't help. it's human nature to be scared and intimidated. >> it's a herd mentality as well. if you're talking to friends or other poem affected by the hurdles, then you can't be the one person to go against that. >> neil: young people all have the same concern about jobs, all of that stuff and say, hey, go slow? >> i know a lot of people who take home eight hundred or nine hundred dollars a week. a lot of them are spending four or five hundred tread dollars a lone. >> neil: charles cares about people. he has friends. those friends -- guys, thank you very much. lock and load, ready to go. not there. something under the radar, and ready to explode right here.

i want you to be watching for something very big next weekend. if it happens, man, oh man, will i be spitting vinegar. has nothing to do with syria and whether we hit them, but something the president is cooking up for unions, but he will be hiding. he is going to give them a pass. he is going to give them a big, fat pass. private get out of jail card for the health care law that is imprisoning the rest of us. by now, you know the full back story. unions started hating this as soon as they realized they would be paying big time for this. you could add them to the growing group of health care cheerleaders that were too busy

pushing it to read it. they discovered the cadillac insurance plans the laws go after, guess what, that's like every union plan, all their plans, they're all very generous. in fact, it turns out unions own the cadillac health insurance market. you would think the term cadillac would trip trumka off. now the aflcio says never to the plan they once said gotta have. back then unions said it was good for america. now they're saying that's not good for us, america. if you don't mind, we'll take a pass, america. they want an exemption from the costly fees for the business they get and the benes they get and opt outs that protect members they feel might be forced out. again, because of a law they championed, they cheered, and now they want to stick on the rest of us chumps. it is going to happen. i'm telling you. it is so going to happen.
